RAMtastic Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Been trawling t'internet Found these details from http://www.footbo.com/Teams If anybody has a website with more definitive details of transfer dealings i'd be interested to know of the teams just above us or who regularly finish mid table how much do they spend during the summer period. To get us up to mid table from where we are now is it down to investment or shrewd buys and then good management Obviously the vast majority of what is on this website are down as undisclosed if you assume that each one of these is probably less than £1M each and in most cases will be around the £100Ks mark 1 Newcastle last year mainly loans & undisclosed obviously Millions when in Prem 2 West Brom not a lot this last summer around £20M Summer 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Nottm Forest summer 2009 around £2M disclosed rest undisclosed (Rumoured £9M ???) 4 Swansea no single purchase over £1M mainly free & loans 5 Leicester £1.2M purchase mainly frees, loans & undisclosed 6 Cardiff £5M summer 2009, rest undisclosed & loans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 Blackpool mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 8 Coventry mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 9 Sheff Utd mainly frees & loans & undisclosed (£2M 2008) 10 Middlesbrough Spent a fortune but whilst in Prem 11 Doncaster mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 12 Preston mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 13 Barnsley mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 14 Bristol City mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 15 QPR mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 16 Reading mainly frees & loans & undisclosed (some whilst in the Prem) 17 Ipswich mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 18 Derby 19 Watford mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 20 Crystal Palace mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 21 Sheff Wed mainly frees & loans & undisclosed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 Ssausagehorpe hardly anything 1 free, 1 loan 23 Plymouth mainly frees & loans & undisclosed 24 Peterborough mainly frees & loans & undisclosed It seems to me that regular mid table teams do not spend £ Millions but buy good pros for this standard (not conference players) and then mould them in to good teams over a couple of seasons This £5M that is being spouted, i reckon as a one off it would probably get us up to mid table/lower playoffs for next year but is it sustainable for the years afterwards ?? info from http://www.footbo.com/Teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 End of the day it doesn't matter how many millions you have to spend if you spend it on *****. £9m on Miller, Earnshaw and Davis (thank you Mr Davies). You've got to have a decent manager and scouting team to suceed at any club. We may not agree with Clough's signings but if we finish higher than we did last season that has to be seen as a positive surely? I don't think he's done a bad job with the funds available whilst trying to lower the wage budget. Porter - Goal ratio is superb, just needs to stay fit - potentially quality signing Barker - Quality signing Buxton - Decent signing Moxey - maybe one for the future Deeney - ***** Martin (Millwall) - Not been given a chance yet Anderson - Doing a great job keeping the bench warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This could be a point-and-laugh moment, but I liked Miller as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 To be fair on the lad he was in a pretty ***** Premiership team, had his attitude been right and he wanted to stay and play for us at the level he belongs, he probably would of knocked a few in for us. Did alright for Wolves and he's in the best form of his career at the moment with Rangers, never a Premiership striker tho and neither was Earnshaw.

GboroRam Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I can't disagree with a word you have said there. Well put that man. Attitude sucked, but as a foreigner he wouldn't understand or have the guts for a scrap in the Championship. Just desperate to get home to some native fried food I guess.
